Cointreau or Tripple sec has been on the list for a long time now. I'm pretty excited to finally give it a go! The first attempt didn't go quite according to plan. But I think I got it almost dilled in for the second.
Here is the recipe I would recommend:
1 L of Neutral / Vodka (0.26 gal)
Peel of 2 oranges
6 g of dried naval orange peel
1/2 teaspoon bigger orange powder
Macerate for 1-3 days
Distil taking around 115ml of heads then hearts down to around 55-60 % ABV.
If you are worried about louching at 40% abv you may want to cut this resulting distillate with a little more neutral while proofing it down and adding sugar. I found these proportions to work well.
1 part orange essence (that you just distilled)
0.5 part vodka
0.7 Part 1:1 sugar syrup
0.4 part water
This should land you around 40% abv
